Author Christie Golden will be part of a live public chat conducted by Worldofwar.net on April 9th at 9pm EST. Fans can drop by and ask questions or leave them in advance if you're unable to attend. The discussion will cover Christie's new book World of Warctaft: Arthas, Rise of the Lich King and how it ties into the lore of World of Warcraft.

The WorldofWar.net Community is about to get a special treat courtesy of Blizzard Entertainment and Simon & Schuster, Inc. ... set your calendars and make arrangements to attend to the Live Public Chat with Christie Golden.

The main topic of this chat is the upcoming soul-chilling World of Warcraft: Arthas, Rise of the Lich King.

When: April 9, 2009
Time: 9pm EST (-5GMT) (8pm Central) (7pm Mountain) (6pmPDT) (3am Paris)

Those fans unable to attend can simply leave their questions in the chat window below.  Those in Western Europe can either stay awake from 3am-4am or sleep earlier. This is a good opportunity to find out what this book is about, and how it ties-in with World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King. The book ships on April 21. However ... shhh ... little secret ... there is a special numbered Collector’s Edition of only 5,000 copies manually signed by Christie Golden that you can pre-order. They come within a Collectors Leather Gift Box where you can keep it stored and a Certificate of Authenticity.

Below is the chat window where you can interact with Christie Golden on April 9 at 9pm (New York timezone).
